Preventive medicine is a medical specialization that deals with the terms of health protection and health promotion. Health protection includes the study of factors of the living and working environment (biological, chemical, and physical factors) that can induce the emergence and development of diseases (especially cardiovascular, metabolic, and oncological diseases) and proposals for reduction of their risks. Health promotion includes the study of lifestyle factors that can induce the emergence and development of diseases (especially cardiovascular, metabolic, and oncological diseases) and proposals for reduction of their risks. The course of Preventive Medicine II is a continuation of the course Preventive Medicine I (during the winter semester) and contain selected chapters mainly from the field of Health Protection. The course is focused on dangerous factors in the living and occupational environment and on possibilities of primary and early secondary prevention.

RULES OF THE CREDIT OBTAINING:

• All seminars will be in face-to-face format. Five seminars (No. 1-5) will be available as recordings in Moodle. Students must come prepared to the seminars. Students are required to listen to the recording of the seminar in Moodle and one week before seminar send one related question to the e-mail: [e-mail] (it will be checked); not sending the question will be qualified as absence from the seminar!!
• During the seminar, the lecturer will repeat the important points of the topic, answer the students' questions sent, and possibly add examples from practice. Students' knowledge will be checked randomly during the seminar.
• Finally, at the end of each seminar, students take partial test on the given topic: 10 multiple-choice questions (one point for each correctly answered question). This applies to the first five seminars (No. 1-5), and therefore students can get a maximum of 50 points (5 x 10). The required minimum from all seminars is 30 points. If the student does not get at least 30 points from all partial tests, he will have to write the complex test on the topics of all seminars and lectures (30 questions) to receive the credit.
• In the last seminar (No. 6), students in groups (max. 4 people) will present (PP) information about the primary/secondary prevention of serious diseases in their mother countries (presentation time approx. 10 min. followed by a discussion of approx. 10 min.).
• One absence is tolerated at seminars. In case of two absences, it is possible to replace one absence with another group or to be examined (by the lecturer) on the given topic. Try to avoid more than two absences (there is a risk of repeating the school year). Extraordinary cases will be dealt with by the subject guarantor prof. Fiala, together with the head of the institute.
